How to Get Started!

Client engagement begins with an introductory phone call to discuss goals and determine fit. This is followed by an in-person consultation and evaluation where the trainer observes the dog’s behavior, assesses leadership dynamics, and creates a customized training plan. Enrollment proceeds only after this evaluation.
